Incineroar's default {{iw|bulbapedia|Ability}} is {{iw|bulbapedia|Blaze|Ability}}, which increases its Attack and Special Attack by 50% when using a Fire-type move while it has a third or less of its Hit Points remaining. Its Hidden Ability is {{iw|bulbapedia|Intimidate}}, which decreases the opponent's Attack by one stage whenever Incineroar enters a battle. Like {{iw|bulbapedia|Decidueye|Pokémon}} and {{iw|bulbapedia|Primarina|Pokémon}}, its fellow fully evolved Alola starter Pokémon, Incineroar has both a {{iw|bulbapedia|signature move}} and signature {{iw|bulbapedia|Z-Move}}. In Incineroar's case, it can learn {{iw|bulbapedia|Darkest Lariat|move}}, which can be converted into {{iw|bulbapedia|Malicious Moonsault|move}} as long as it holds {{iw|bulbapedia|Incinium Z}}. | Incineroar's default {{iw|bulbapedia|Ability}} is {{iw|bulbapedia|Blaze|Ability}}, which increases its Attack and Special Attack by 50% when using a Fire-type move while it has a third or less of its Hit Points remaining.

Thanks to Incineroar's above-average Attack stat, respectable overall defenses, potent offensive typing, and the utility provided by both Intimidate and its moveset, it is renowned as one of the most useful Pokémon within the competitive ''Pokémon'' metagame's {{iw|bulbapedia|double battle}}s format. However, Incineroar's slow Speed and vulnerability to common attacking types generally result in it struggling in singles battles, and thus being placed within that format's lower tiers. | |||
In the ''Pokémon'' anime, Incineroar appears as the [[bulbapedia:Professor Kukui's Incineroar|main Pokémon]] of [[bulbapedia:Professor Kukui (anime)|Professor Kukui]] while under his Masked Royal persona. It developed a rivalry with [[bulbapedia:Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] [[bulbapedia:Ash's Torracat|Torracat]], and is shown to be incredibly powerful in battle. In ''[[bulbapedia:M21|I Choose You!]]'', an Incineroar appears under the ownership of {{iw|bulbapedia|Cross}}, the movie's main antagonist. | In the ''Pokémon'' anime, Incineroar appears as the [[bulbapedia:Professor Kukui's Incineroar|main Pokémon]] of [[bulbapedia:Professor Kukui (anime)|Professor Kukui]] while under his Masked Royal persona.
